Well, some may disagree with Michelle’s desicion, but she apparantly turned down an offer to pose for top men’s magazine ‘Playboy’.

English actress Michelle Ryan has revealed that she was asked by Playboy boss Hugh Hefner to pose naked for the men’s magazine. Though she found the offer very interesting and flattering, Ryan turned it down as she didn’t think it was the right time. “It was very strange and flattering to be asked. However I didn’t think it was the right time,” The Sun quoted her, as saying.

There’s an interview with Michelle over at The Independent, and it’s definitely worth a look..

Michelle Ryan, 24, is better known in Britain as the’Eastenders’ character Zoe Slater. Since her departure from the BBC soap, she has achieved international fame starring in the US series ‘The Bionic Woman’, which will be available on DVD from 12 May.

If I weren’t talking to you right now I’d be…

On my way to meet the director of my new job for a coffee. I’ve just finished working on Mr Eleven for ITV2. It’s a cross between Bridget Jones and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. My character is Saz, a school teacher obsessed with marrying her eleventh sexual partner.

The most surprising thing that happened to me was…

I was in LA last year doing a conference for Bionic Woman and somebody shouted out “Zoe.” It doesn’t matter where I go or what I do, I’m always going to be associated with Eastenders!

You know me as an actress but in another life I’d have been …

A zoologist. Or something that definitely involves travel and animals. I really would love to go jungle trekking in Peru.

So, today I have been busy with a couple of my sites creating new looks. The last one for today is this one, and I have to say I really do love it, lol. It uses another of my favourite photoshoots of Michelle, and I think the colours and the style of font etc work well. Now the other thing I noticed was that this site was apparantly created by Gertie last May, so that would make it a year online! woohoo. Now I can’t be sure of the exact date but it’s May now and that’s good enough for me. So, a huge happy birthday to the site from me.. May there be many more years to come!

It may not have lasted as long as we’d hoped but the UK has taken ‘Bionic Woman’ to it’s hearts and Michelle is very happy:

Michelle Ryan has admitted she is overwhelmed by the popularity of her new drama The Bionic Woman in the UK. The US series has proven to be a hit on British soil after recording the highest ever viewing figures for ITV2.

Michelle said: “It was great when I heard the viewing figures, it kind of mirrored what happened in the US when my boss called me and said, ‘Have you seen the ratings? There’s 15 million viewers.’ Then I got the call over here and it was the same thing. “It’s so good because when you work that hard and you put everything into it, it’s great that people like it so much. It’s almost like a Girl Power thing.”

Despite the success of the series though, the LA writers strike has prevented the series coming around for a second stint indefinitely. She added: “It brought production to a halt and then they just decided not to bring it back.”

Well so much to say, and first can I really quickly say a thousand sorry’s for not mentioning Michelle’s birthday which I know was last Tuesday. My poor excuse is that I was at the dentist having a tooth taken out that day and I guess my mind has been a bit all over the place as it was very painful …. So a belated Happy Birthday Michelle, I hope that you got everything  you wanted and had an amazing day.

Now onto the good news.. we have the video up from Friday’s ‘Entertainment Today’ - what can I say I have friends in high places, lol. So, head on over to the media section to watch, Michelle talks about her upcoming role in ‘Mr Eleven’ and also a cameo in a new drama ‘Merlin’. More on that later.. Enjoy

I am not so happy… why? well because I missed Michelle on GMTV yesterday and only managed to catch like a few minutes of her on ‘Entertainment Today’. She did look totally gorgeous of course. Now I am frantically keeping my eyes open for the video to turn up somewhere. Now I do have some good news, it is my birthday in June and my wonderful boyfriend is going to buy me a capture card and everything I need so that I can record these things for us.. So, not too long to wait!

Thanks to mishmash for the heads up.. Michelle is apparantly appearing on GMTV tomorrow morning that’s Friday 25th April. Not sure on the time but the programme runs between about 7:00-8:35am on ITV1 so you’ll have to be up early to catch her!

Well we really are being treated at the moment, with more on-set images appearing from ‘Mr Eleven’. Michelle just looks gorgeous in all of them as always..

EDIT: I forgot to mention this - The application form for affliation has had to be removed due to an excessive spamming.. Over 155 apllications that were spam! So, until this is resolved the form will be down. You can still apply if you contact us by e-mail, and I will let you know when the issue is resolved. Thanks.

Yep, you heard it correct, Michelle is blaming her most recent role as the new ‘Bionic Woman’ for her trouble in finding a man!

BIONIC WOMAN star MICHELLE RYAN has blamed her role in the U.S. TV show for her dismal love life - insisting her newly toned body puts off any potential boyfriends.
The British actress was forced to undergo a gruelling training regime for her role in the remake of the cult 1970s programme, and the punishing work-outs left her with a taught new figure.
But Ryan, 23, is convinced that men find highly athletic women less attractive, claiming her muscled new body is the reason why she is still single.
She says, “I knew playing a woman with bionic strength was going to screw me over with men because they were going to be scared.
“I had this amazing new body and was super-fit and feeling great, but I couldn’t get a man.”

Well I finally got the site converted to Wordpress. I may change the look a bit later but for now I like this one. Hopefully this change should make the site run smoother, plus it will keep the spamming down which can only be a good thing. I have changed a few things and managed to get the most recent pics added into the sidebar which helps a lot. If anyone does have any viewing problems then please do let me know. I am off for a well earned rest..
